Dining

Access to the clubhouse facilities, including the restaurants and bars, are the exclusive membership benefit of Penn Club members and their accompanied guests. Penn Club members experience world-class dining in the beautiful setting of the landmark-quality clubhouse.

Presidents and Provosts Room

On the second floor are the two double-story formal dining rooms, dedicated to Penn's Presidents and Provosts. In the center is an oak-floored dining foyer and reception area. Overlooking the foyer is the musicians' gallery, with its ornamental grillage of graceful "P"s and tulips.
The dining rooms have many special touches, from antique Scottish buffet tables to regency dessert carts. The chandeliers, sconces, and gilding are re-creations of the original fixtures and detailing. Austrian crystal complements the Wedgwood china, cast for the Club from a pattern created for Penn in 1929.
Attentive service and excellent cuisine complement the elegant surroundings. On weekends, the Presidents and Provosts Room is available for private member functions such as weddings or a large cocktail reception.

A sweeping marble spiral staircase leads down to the entrance foyer and then to the Grill Room. This stylish room, with its red leather banquettes, chairs with needle pointed crests and bar of mahogany, brass and mirror by Langenbacher, recalls favorite campus haunts. From a clock like the one in Houston Hall that shows the time with the letters of "Pennsylvania" to the re-creation of the Old King Cole mural in the Mask and Wig clubhouse, the Grill Room salutes campus life. Three murals by noted artist Max Mason, GFA'84, show campus on a winter day, the Fall 1982 Ivy Championship victory at Franklin Field and a spring scene Boathouse Row. Around the room are mugs honoring the Club's Cornerstone donors.
